In
a
shocking
incident,
American
rapper,
Lil
Durk’s
10-year-old
son
has
allegedly
shot
his
stepdad,
Joshua
Pippens,
during
a
heated
dispute
between
his
stepdad
and
mother.
Surveillance
cameras
which
captured
the
moment
show
how
the
child
grabbed
a
weapon
from
his
stepdad,
Joshua
Pippens,
aimed
the
gun
at
him
and
shot
him.

orange

can

observed
attempting

restrain
the

mother,
who
is
wearing
purple.
Amidst
the
confrontation,
the
child,
wearing
a
red
t-shirt
and
shorts
per
the
footage,
pointed
what
seems
to
be
a
gun
directly
at
Pippens.
Subsequently,
the
lad
pointed
the
weapon
at
Pippens,
and
a
single
gunshot
is
heard.
Pippens
is
seen
falling
to
the
ground
after
being
shot.

Mail
reports

Speaking
via
his
Instagram
page,
Pippens
claimed
that
he
was
not
the
aggressor
and
the
boy
only
acted
upon
the
instruction
s
of
his
mother.
He
wrote,
“As
y’all
can
see
I
was
not
the
aggressor.
And
y’all
also
can
see
how
I
still
had
my
gun
on
my
hip.
He
grabbed
my
gun
off
my
hip
following
his
mom’s
lead
and
tried
to
shoot
me
and
then
actually
shot
me.
“My
gun
was
on
my
hip
and
I
was
trying
to
protect
myself
from
getting
shot.
I
never
in
a
million
years
thought
a
kid
I
bought
four
wheelers
and
paid
football
leagues
and
everything
would
do
this
but
he
only
knows
what
mom
shows
him.
I
still
love
him
like
he’s
mine.”
Pippens
suggested
that
the
argument
may
have
been
about
custody
arrangements
over
a
child
the
couple
share.
“Whatever
makes
y’all
feel
better.
That’s
why
I
got
custody
of
my
kids
and
she
don’t.
Y’all
so
internet
think
[sic]
god
it
was
me
that
took
the
shot
and
not
her,”
he
wrote.
He
continued,
“Listen,
nobody
is
going
to
jail
or
they
would
already
be
there.
I’m
doing
this
for
rights
over
my
kids.
Call
me
what
y’all
want.
And
on
top
of
that,
this
was
at
my
momma’s,
in
front
of
my
momma,
granny,
and
more
kids.
I
pray
y’all
make
it
through
y’all
situation
that
God
gon’
put
y’all
through
for
playing
with
me.”
Meanwhile,
rapper
Lil
Durk

the
incident.
